Nighttime Party

When Hope first came home, we co-slept with her. We did that for about 4 weeks before we finally moved her to the pack 'n play. At first the pack 'n play was right next to our bed, but we have slowly moved it further and further away. Mike and I have a sitting room attached to our bedroom and that is where she sleeps now. At some point we will move her in with Mary Kate, but that is still a little while away.

Last night it took Hope almost 1 1/2 hours to fall asleep after we put her to bed. That is pretty unusual, but since she wasn't crying I didn't check on her. We could hear her jabbering happily through the baby monitor. She did eventually fall asleep. When Mike and I went up to bed and checked on her, this is what we found:



Her pack 'n play is near our bookshelves, but we thought we had her positioned so that she couldn't grab anything. We knew she could touch some things, but we didn't think she was at a good position to be able to actually grab anything.



Apparently we were wrong. She managed to get her hands on a folder full of information and she pulled the entire folder apart. Mike and I laughed so hard at the image of our daughter sleeping among all those papers. We cleaned out her pack 'n play and moved it a little further from the bookshelves to hopefully avoid having this happen again.
